One product release I'm excited for more than Samsung's new lineup.
💬 In this week's issue:
- Samsung Unpacked. The Flip and Fold are back with a vengeance!
- Favourite Stuff. Advanced preview of what I've been using/reviewing
- Latest Videos. Catch up on the latest videos on the channel
🤦🏼♂️ Introduction
So we've all seen the announcement.
Introducing the Samsung Flip 4 and Fold 4! Devices which are essentially a minor spec bump and improvement upon last year's models.
Slightly better batteries, better screens, cameras, a new dock - I'd love to know what you think of these new phones! (You can reply to this email to let me know!)
For the first time, I've taken a risk and not ordered the new devices. As I've been told that Samsung should be sending me both devices to review (which will save me thousands!) So I'm really excited to hopefully start building a relationship with them to review more devices, as this job is a very, very expensive one!
I'm looking forward to reviewing them, but the announcement that I'm really excited about is actually one that went unnoticed...
Yes! It's the insane Samsung Odyssey Ark. The only behemoth that could best the 49" G9 Neo that I've been a fan of for so long. It was announced many months ago, but it looks like it will become available very soon, and I can't wait to buy one to swap out my G9!
I also have a 'Back to School' video with a difference coming out very soon. One that I hope will actually help you save money and be more productive, rather than just spending it on the most expensive tech, à la MKBHD, who recently had some bad press after a sponsored video seemingly went a bit wrong.
🗞 Favourite Things
- Insta360 One RS camera: I got sent this awesome camera, which shoots mind-blowing 360 degree and wide-angle action shots, just by swapping out the lens. It also came with a motorbike mount, which I'm hoping Chris won't ask me to test out on his motorbike!
- Paperlike Pro Bundle: Turn your iPad into a paper-like powerhouse with Paperlike's pro bundle. For those of us who need to be kept organised with tech but love the feel of a pencil in their hand - ahem!
- I'm absolutely loving the Latercase Cyber Edition cases for my Google Pixel 6 Pro. Their carbon black design remind of good times past playing Need For Speed Underground and giving my car a carbon black hood!
- Also, I just treated myself to a new travel bag for all the gear (and chocolate) I carry round with me. And you can't really get much better than the Peter McKinnon Gomatic!
A Netflix user will browse the app for 90 seconds and leave if they find nothing.

Thumbnail artwork is actually NFLX's most effective lever to influence a viewer's choice. A user will look at one for only 1.8 seconds, so NFLX spends huge to optimize them.
